Good luck.
Husbandry's good but the one snake got shipped here in cold weather well past the ability of his "24 hour heat pack" to keep him warm.

He was like ice when we opened the box and considering the freakish "east coast mystery tour" FedEx sent him on, there's no telling how long he was that cold.

Odds are he developed it first and gave it to the female because his symptoms were extremely worse than his were and she's a very stressy snake, therefore more susceptible.

[nobody else has symptoms and are all eating well, knock on wood]


He only eats small live mice.
